MEDICAL INSURANCE


         HMO Medical Plan
         With the Anthem Blue Cross Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan, you must choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP) or
         medical group within the “Select” network. All of your care must be directed through your PCP or medical group. Any specialty care
         you need will be coordinated through your PCP and will generally require a referral or authorization. You will receive benefits only
         if you use the doctors, clinics and hospitals that belong to the medical group in which you are enrolled, except in the case  of an
         emergency.

         PPO Medical Plan
         With the Anthem Blue Cross Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan, you have the freedom to choose your doctor without
         using a Primary Care Physician (PCP) and you may self-refer to specialists. You may use a PPO provider whose negotiated rates
         provide richer levels of benefits with claim forms filed by the providers. You may also obtain services using a non-network provider;
         however,  you  will  be  responsible  for  the  difference  between  the  covered  amount  and  the  actual  charges  and  you  may  be
         responsible for filing claims.
